The most-tweeted about performer from the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards is now drawing complaints from parents and conservatives for her racy show.

Miley Cyrus twerked with giant teddy bears and grinded on Robin Thicke during a performance of her single "We Can't Stop" and his smash hit "Blurred Lines" on Sunday night. The 20-year-old singer also stripped to a nude latex bikini and molested the 36-year-old married father on stage with a foam finger, while continuing to stick out her tongue and shake her booty.

The Parents Television Council is now blasting the network for promoting "sexual exploitation," according to the Daily Mail.

"MTV has once again succeeded in marketing sexually charged messages to young children using former child stars and condom commercials -- while falsely rating this program as appropriate for kids as young as 14. This is unacceptable," a spokesperson for the watchdog group said in a statement. "How is this image of former child star Miley Cyrus appropriate for 14-year-olds...?"

Conservatives are also criticizing the VMAs for supposedly contributing to the end of Western civilization.

"We're on a moral downward spiral," radio host Laura Ingraham said Monday, according to the New York Daily News. "What you're hearing is the end of the culture."

Rush Limbaugh called Cyrus' routine "just this side of onstage pornography," the newspaper added.

It wasn't just conservatives expressing concerns, either. Kelly Clarkson slammed the show as being full of "pitchy strippers," and MSNBC's "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski, a married mother of two, called the performance "really, really disturbing."

"That young lady, who is 20, is obviously deeply troubled, deeply disturbed, clearly has confidence issues, probably has an eating disorder," Brzezinski continued. "And I don't think anybody should've put her up on stage. That was disgusting and embarrassing. That was not fun, that was not funny, and that was really, really bad for anybody who's younger and impressionable."

Robin Thicke's mother Gloria Loring, 66, also thought the performance crossed a line. "I was not expecting her to be putting her butt that close to my son," she told Yahoo. "The problem is now I can never 'unsee' it."

Even Brooke Shields, who played Cyrus' TV mom on Disney's "Hannah Montana," wasn't a fan: "I just want to know who's advising her, and why it is necessary... [Our children] can't watch that," she told the "Today" show Monday. "I feel like it's a bit desperate."

Her real-life father Billy Ray Cyrus has not publicly commented on the show, but Thicke's wife of eight years Paula Patton said she "couldn't be cooler" with it. The 37-year-old actress told TMZ she wasn't surprised by the dry-humping on stage as there were "tons of rehearsals."

Of course, Miley wasn't the only one who wore little-to-no clothing at the VMAs. Lady Gaga went through five costume changes during a four-minute performance, finally settling on a seashell bra and thong. Ciara wore a sheer gown, Selena Gomez wore a cut dress that only covered half of her bra, and others wore racy crop-tops or low-cut outfits.

MTV, however, likely doesn't mind the controversy. E! News reports Sunday night's broadcast drew 10.1 million viewers, plus another 2.8 million with an encore performance. Total viewership was up 66 percent from last year's telecast, and the ratings were up 47 percent.

What do you think? Was Miley Cyrus' performance inappropriate for MTV to broadcast?
